Miranda and Parker are off on another adventure. When an old friend of Parker's calls and says she needs help, the couple heads for South America. Tia owns a resort there and has been getting death threats. Then a dead body is discovered on one of the trails. It's clear there's a killer out there wanting to do Tia harm and once again Miranda throws herself in the thick of things. Parker wants the case solved as well but he's also bent on keeping Miranda safe. Unfortunately, fate often has other plans.
This was a bit of a change up as far as locale and I really enjoyed it. The only thing I questioned was the lack of Parker's involvement in this one. It seemed like Miranda was more the focal point this time. There wasn't that special spark to their relationship like in previous stories where they worked closely as a team.

Whew they came c!ose this time!
I had a!ready read this but I'm reading them again because they're so good No matter how many times I've read them they're still suspenseful . I'm reading them slower this time because I read them so fast the first time. Miranda makes me mad that she'd broken her promise. Wade has been nothing but supportive and freely given her love, comfort and protection even though she doesn't want him to do that.

A Brazilian mystery
Miranda and Parker always find interesting cases to peruse. This one takes place in Brazil where Parker has an old friend in need of help. This story was a bit slow but the characters are still interesting.
So far I have read all the previous books and I have not gotten bored. This is a good series and for the most part could be read as stand alone. Beware you will get hooked!

Creepy!
The whole unknown watcher theme is unsettling and disturbing.
Fortunately, most people never need to deal with obsessed stalkers with murderous intentions.
The relationship roller coaster 🎢 continues between Miranda and Parker, quiescent during the main story but (irritatingly) resurfacing at the end.

Exciting
Couldn’t put this down and read it in two days. I have read books one to four in a week. They keep you thinking all the way through and there are so many twists and turns throughout that I have yet to work out the culprit myself. Highly recommend it.
Now off to start book 5.

Stumbling blocks
Miranda and Parker are at it again. I so enjoy reading Lindsey’s books. It’s refreshing to have love scenes that leave stuff to the imagination of the reader as well as mushers that you think you have solved but didn’t well on to the next one.

Puzzling Episodes
This story was really scary. Too many things going wrong.....really dangerous. The storyline was fast-moving, kept you on the edge of your seat. The many characters were amazing. Looking forward to reading Book 5.

Just when I think...
How can she develop such intricate and intense plots that are in such different settings with such different details and still deliver the goods?
And it's clambered, not clamored.
A bit of true grammarian editing is needed.

Another great read. Couldn't put it down. Characters were in place and had the team guessing. Seemed like every avenue was blocked. But, the team comes through.
